- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 8 hours ago:
Anything on Android 11 and below, at least, before the regulations were put in effect to take the feature from newer releases
- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 8 hours ago:
Reminds me of just a few months ago when they sold the Samsung Galaxy S20-something using all the features that come with either Google Gemini or Android 15. Nothing unique but the homegrown app store nobody likes

I am extremely glad that criminal justice still holds up for hate crimes. Here’s hoping they serve the full sentence.

Indeed I did, I removed my speculative comments…
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 days ago:
I put my chips (£100) on Emby, a Jellyfin fork. I don’t know much about specifics, but I believe Emby was borne out of classic workplace toxicity, in that Jellyfin was becoming too corporate so a couple devs forked off to keep it clean.
I haven’t regretted my purchase. I can’t sell anyone on much either, because Emby does all the same as other services, except they’ve kept adding features while Plex kept doing the Google thing and taking them away. CPU transcoding is free I believe, as is remote streaming up to 10 devices for each user… Idk I paid pretty early on, but lifetime license is where it’s at. Subscriptions just open your asshole for greedy CEOs to fuck you
- Comment on Google confirms it’s close to getting Gemini support on iPhones 3 days ago:
Definitely not the only ones, but definitely some of the best third party ROMs are specifically for Pixel. Ironic, the best phone to deGoogle is a Google phone

True but the purpose of sex/mating isn’t solely to be gratifying to a viewer, it’s a natural part of life
- Comment on incredible that this was a show for childrend 5 days ago:
Humans fucking is life, and isn’t worthy of censorship. Life happens.

As meat bridge said, the stupid nationalist conservatives stole our word again
- Comment on Fully self-hosted password manager options 6 days ago:
I use Bitwarden, which I’m fairly sure is the same product. Perhaps the issue lies with the app you’re using to login rather than the manager? For example, Bitwarden works well on at least Chrome and Brave, but rarely on Ecosia.

They’re conglomerate assholes. They have been damaging the environment, society and consumer base for decades now

I just tried - already I can’t get a full-size dark Toblerone for less than £25 each
- Comment on Belgian teens among four charged in Kenya over trafficking of rare ants 2 weeks ago:
Iirc they were transporting a lot more than ants. Spiders, scorpions etc

No, I found conduwuit to be my favourite fork by far 😭

An old meme once said:
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 3 weeks ago:
The leadership (is supposed to) represent the people, the people do not represent the leadership. Israelis do not represent the Israeli government. Employees of a Meta subsidiary do not represent Meta, Facebook, or Zuckerberg. Don’t attack McDonald’s employees because the burger is more expensive, YouTube employees because the content preys on children or residents/soldiers of a country because the government decides to mobilise its army against another community. Employees are just victims of capitalism, just working there because they must, irrespective of politics.
- Comment on Id like to turn off notifications from the Galaxy Store, but I can't. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. Filthy basterds. 3 weeks ago:
If an app can only be disabled there is a very useful tool called Android Debloater. Using a computer, download ADB + Fastboot (I prefer the portable version, no installer), move the files from Debloater into the same folder as the ADB files, and execute the debloater from that folder.
Once you learn the basics of enabling USB debugging on your Android, connecting it to the computer and running the debloat tool, everything else is simple. It gives various recommended lists of apps to disable or completely uninstall, and descriptors for almost every package so you know what it’s used for. It’s how you can remove any unwanted social media apps, the original YouTube in favour of Revanced, Google Gboard and its privacy issues, Search (and with it any mandatory search bar on the home screen, the News sidebar etc.) - Comment on Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? 1 month ago:
That’s pretty much what I just recommended aha, 12th gen or higher, or a GPU. Doesn’t have to be a large one either - my GTX 970 could handle Emby transcoding as well as blaze through speech recognition for a local voice assistant
- Comment on Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? 1 month ago:
IIRC the free version of Emby doesn’t throttle in any way, you can still have up to 10 concurrent active devices and the only thing you miss out on really is OpenSubtitles. But I’ve recently upped my game with Sonarr and it’s a dream. One day I’ll put my movies into Radarr.
- Comment on Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people? 1 month ago:
You need any kind of mobo/CPU combo, I’ve heard 12th Gen Intel onwards are as capable of transcoding on the fly as an older GPU so you wouldn’t need both, but if you go older I recommend a GPU as well, just because it gives more flexibility with being able to use hardcoded subtitles without locking up the CPU, and streaming a lower bitrate version of the video if your internet is shit, instead of - again - locking up
For easy certificate management I use NginX Proxy Manager, for media I use Emby and for a domain I use Cloudflare but you can absolutely serve your server with DuckDNS or another DDNS service for free.
I paid about £200 to build my server, and holy fuck it’s so much cheaper than any subscription. Electricity is about £3-£5 a year and other costs are optional
- Comment on Bridges with matrix conduit 1 month ago:
I found one called conduwuit and immediately used that to setup lol
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I got one recently by B&H Photo Video, may have got lucky but the drive was brand new and untampered, and was in plastic cushioning, in a fitted box, inside 6" of airbags, inside another box. Delivered by DHL Express.
- Comment on DuckDNS URL no longer working on home network? 1 month ago:
Sometimes DuckDNS goes down partially, their servers breaking for about a week is why I purchased a domain and now host via Cloudflare.
